breaking a great many cf the U'rgK tim

Wc are pleased to notice a ccrrespon
denco from thi3 city in the Neb., City
Yors, which makes some very good
points upon the progress and improve
ment cf cur city. Perhaps, the great
amount of truth in the correspondence
thould make come amends ror the few
grain3.cf the opposite character which it
contains. Vet we know cf no founda
tion fcr such aa assertion as the follow
ing ia said correspondence :
'The most prominent and influential
mea cf this ci'y do net regard with favor
the Atchtsca and Nebraska City Rail
road, thiir cljcction caused frubal!y by tkt
last r.ac." .
W'e assert, cn the ccn'.rary, that 'the
most prominent and indaeutial "mea cf
tbis city"' da regard, this road with fa
vor, but do act propo&e to li it interfere
with bd east and west connection, which
row demands their whole attention and
will undoubtedly receive all their support,
at least until the A. k N. C: Road de
mands something. The Air Line Road
will be one of the maia stems cf the U.
T. R. R., whila the A.-& N. C, road
will never give to this county any prcav
inance ca the Missouri river above oth
er counties along the rouis. Yet, it has
to far demanded nothing, and no opposi
tion has therefore been engendered.

and the competition close and lively. . We
assumed -.the privilege, cf taking a few
notes, and intend to print 'em. Of coru
ih'j showing was such a3 to nobly sustain
Nebraska's reputation as cni of the
best corn raising States .in. the .Union;
VTe measured .and weighed .a-few speci
mens as this would give a better idea
than cculd be arrived at ia any other
manner : . . . - . . . . . . . -
G. Shellhorn, 5 ears yellow weighed

W S Hughes, Gears, pure white, G 1-2
lbs. 9 inches. . . ' ' ,
Ceo. Marshall, 5 ears, yelloV, 7 lbs,
12 1-0 inches in length.
This is but afevv average samples, the
collection embracing almost every known
variety, among the rest Geo. Marshall
exhibited ". sortie of" the regular : Flour
Corn raised in this county, as fine a
specimen 'as we l ave ever seen. Why
is not this kind of corn more extensively
raised to make meal of ? It is certainly
the only kind of corn adapted exclusive
ly fcr that purpoe.'; : ; ,
Tha showing of 'Wheat was not so
full a s was hoped, yet the samples were
very fine. ' Ed. "Smith took the first pre

Geo R Davis, white beet, weighed

15 inches long and 19 in circumference;
and one weighing 11 1-2 lbs, 24 inches

' A T D Hughes, Turnips, one weigh
ing G lb?. 23 inches- in'circumference.
. R W Furais. Turnips, "one weighing
5 1-2 lbs, 22 inches around.
S:afTord exhibited some Carrois 2 feet
long, and broke off ia the ground where
they were one inch in diameter. :
The varieties cf Tomatoes were well
represented, as were alsoSweel and Irish
Potatoes, in samples choice, yet not'near
so large as we have seen raised in this
county, and we 'were much pleased to
hear the general determination of our
farmers to do better next season, i
Several specimens of large Onions
were exhibittd, El. Smith had half
bushel averaging near a poynd ap;ece.
Geo Shellhorn and. Jamsf Coleman
had the largest heads of Cal bageon tne
ground, average weight abcut GO lbs.
each.
Geo Marshall, Pumpkin. 5 feet in cir
cumference. Squash, A T D Hughes, 4 1-2 feet in
circumference. ' . v
. Th display of Fruit was ragnificent,
the collection of Grapes, : Pears, Plums,
etc., exhibited from the garden of Col.
Furnas, would do credit to any old
fruit country.' In size and flavor they
could not be excelled a'nvwhere.
Mrs. Lovtless made a very fine dis
play cf variety cf S'immer, Fall and
Winter apples and Peaches, from the
Loveless Farm near London. Amonir
the choicest of her collection, and the
hardiest in this climate, we notice the
B'g French, weighing nar a pound each,
the Pound Pippin, Limber Twig and
Winesapp, all being extra fine of their
kind r.nd of splendid flavor.' Their
IVache?, though seedlings, were large
nr.d well flavored. The show ing of send
ling apple. froi: this farm wa? very fine.
Chris. Deuser, Hiram Alderinan and
Mrs. Thurman were cn hand with Pound

order to more fully sjl fonh the great
success lhaT,has;.fcj,vAys nitendvcr the set
ting'om cf HeJges aiid Groves in South
ern Nebraska, and in order to certior
ate ihe mauy j-tatf myn's that have gone
out to the world in regard to ihi luxuri
ant, growth if fiuir aod forest trees io
Nemaha county, and especially as there
wa quite a number of our witeprising
farmers who, through the imperfection
of the prtTu'ii urn list, did hot compete for
prizes, thgught.it'rio mere than justice to
ibtrn'snd the ,ct?uf)iy, 'to m-ikei further
examinations and give the at-lira 1 meas
urements of the growths and manner cf
culture in other localities.
There were , three; entries cf ..Osage
Orange Hedges of one year's growth,
all of wtych were very fine specimens ;
those receiving the firt an I second pre
iniums;were planted eight inches apart,
and had made a' growth from two nnd a
half to six and a half feet high, very
even, and to all appearance, would ma
ture sufficient to stand a severe winter.
On the list of grouo up hedges'we find
only two entries, loth of which are able
to withstand all the nt'ack of unruly
cattle to break dewn or j .-tap over. or the
.attempts, of. pigs, to" crt'p.. through hav
ing made a grovvtnct at least 1 feet
high and so thick ns to exclude even day
light itself; and '-what is more striking,
ihey are rilmost entirely self-made and
-i.t i,,.-.A - l... o
since planting, demonstrating fully their
ability io stand our climate and anake a
permanent and cheap protection- It is
ndt an experiment now, as there are
many other hedges in the county equally
as good as these.. Toe- cultivation and
training thus far seems to be a question
open to debate, and the published expe
rience of those successful growers would
be of great value to the ccunty. -

1 .-On thi3 list We find-three entries ;
two of two years and one cf ihr ie yearr
growth. ". - ;
The grove cf 'E" J Bryant' Vet 9x12
feet apart, two years groVth Would seem
almost a miracle to some cf cur "eastern
friends, nnd fcr the benefit , of this class
of people acfiingfor elbow room, we
took measurements of this also. Of W
II Pares' grove, of the. same age, we
find the greatesr growth to-be over four
inches in diameter and 20 feet in heighi.
We next came "to the three year old
grove cf car worthy Secretary, H O
Minick, which meaeures upwards of 7
inches in. darherer and 3-5 feet high ;
the grcve is planted. GxS.feet, making
about 2700 trees on an acre ' which :yiil
average near the above figures.
